Part of an apparent promotional campaign. The claim of 52 publications sounded impressive, until I actually looked. She has written one book, co-chaired one conference, and written a dozen of so technical reports mostly for the Center for Global Development, (itself the subject of an exceptionally spammy and congratulatory article which will need to be looked at. )These reports are typically found in only two or three libraries, and are usually under 100 pages. I listed a few of them. The other publication are magazine articles.

The other references are either her own works, her own organization's work, or her own blurbs for various conferences and organization,  DGG ( talk ) 08:47, 25 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. GS h-index of around 17 in average-cited field of public health may pass WP:Prof. Other positions held may contribute to WP:GNG. Xxanthippe (talk) 02:15, 27 March 2017 (UTC).
 * But she is not an academic. Her notability, such as it is, is as an organizer. Public health is not a low cited field. Anyway, it's not h index that matters but the distribution of citation h=17 can mean 17 items with 17 citations each, or 1item with 500 and 16 items with 16 each. Here, she has no item with over 100 citations, and in biomedical  sciences, that's the effective minimum standard.  DGG ( talk ) 00:38, 28 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete -- I cannot find any meaningful reviews of her work; article is advertorially toned. K.e.coffman (talk) 23:25, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
